I watched @markx19 (Mark Weinberger) latest short video on his "Green Machine" series number 20 where at about 1:00 in he shows reinstalling a fan shroud for the early year non-AC heater box. I've just recently done mine (thanks again to @Mark Olson for the upper box!) and I did not see this shroud. I had a 1976 in my younger past and even then when I repaired one I did not see this or at least don't remember seeing it.
Mark (Weinberger) mentioned that his Austrailian X1/9 is a 1978 model year. Anyone else see these on the early model heater boxes with a regular blade fan (vs. the later boxes which I think all used squirrel cage type fans)? I think this would fix one of the early model design issues where there is very little airflow.
I looked in my shop manuals but didn't see any reference. I did find the following image from the Greek X1/9 club showing the shroud but don't know the year.
It is clearly there. Any other early (better yet, 1976) X1/9 owners in North America have this shroud also?
